Loch Ness Gate House is a modern, small-scale place to stay in Fort Augustus, set above Cobbs Coffee Shop and Retail on the banks of the Caledonian Canal. With just eight en-suite rooms, it has more of a comfortable guest accommodation feel than a large hotel, making it a handy choice for visitors who want to be right in the heart of the village. The setting is especially appealing, with Fort Augustus sitting at the southern end of Loch Ness where the canal and loch meet.
Rooms are simply styled and well equipped for a Highland short break, with private bathrooms, tea and coffee making facilities, flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi. The property’s position above the café is useful for guests who like an easy breakfast option before heading out for the day, with a full Scottish breakfast available at an extra cost through the on-site café.
Fort Augustus is a great base for exploring Loch Ness, the Caledonian Canal and the surrounding Highlands. Guests can watch boats passing through the famous canal locks, take a Loch Ness cruise, enjoy walks around the village, or drive out towards Inverness, Fort William and Urquhart Castle. Loch Ness Gate House works particularly well for travellers who want central, practical accommodation with cafés, local sights and waterside walks close by.
Guest Reviews & Ratings
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I were on a 3 week driving tour of the UK. We booked this place for 1 night and didn’t anticipate it being anything special. I am SO sad we were only there one night! The room was on the smaller side but very nice. The area was absolutely perfect. The food we had was delicious and just steps away. The locals were so helpful and nice. And the walking paths and the views were incredible. I miss this place already! It was a true highlight on our trip. The only issue we had was that we did not receive the email or text with the code to our key box. But my husband made a quick call the number that had been provided with the confirmation of our stay and the gentleman was very helpful and got us all taken care of. I would absolutely recommend this place. And I would stay again and again.
